Jiggling Assembly
Jiggling Assembly
(OP)
Sorry for the vague title, I don't even know what to search for for this issue.
One of our guys has got an issue with a large assembly. When the view is rotated, parts are jiggling about, like an earthquake. It's a difficult thing to describe, sorry. Parts are shaking against each other as the view is rotated and it's slowing things down.
The assembly is fully defined and when finished rotating, all the parts are where they should be.

What are the computer specs?
RE: Jiggling Assembly
Intel Xeon Quad @2.27GHz
12GB Ram
Nvidia Quadro FX580
Windows 7-64
RE: Jiggling Assembly
Have you tried adjusting the Tools > Options > System Options > Performance settings?
RE: Jiggling Assembly
we've tried different level of detail performance settings, are there any other settings that could make a difference?
RE: Jiggling Assembly
Is the graphics driver on the "slow" machine, SW approved? (Should be 8.16.11.9187)
http://w
Are other programs/utilities/processes running on the slow machine?
You could use the Copy Settings Wizard to copy the settings from your machine to the other one. Make sure to create a copy of the settings from the slow machine before applying yours though.
RE: Jiggling Assembly
The graphics driver is the latest one, not the solidworks approved, so I guess this would be the first thing to try. Our IT dept are reluctant to install older drivers on our machines though.
The only other things that are running on that machine would be outlook and maybe a couple of explorer windows. It's done it consistently ove a couple of days with a restart in between.
I'll give the copy settings wizard thing a go if the user wants to.

Open up the 3Dconnexion Control Panel > Device Configuration > Calibrate.

RE: Jiggling Assembly
I'm wondering if it is to do with graphics card RAM. This machine has a 512 card, but we've had all sorts of issues here on machines that are running 256 cards
RE: Jiggling Assembly
Did you try my suggestion?

RE: Jiggling Assembly
One other user here has had something similar happen recently, and he is the only other user with a space navigator, so I suspect that is the cause.
